Harry ran into the infirmary. Madam Pomfrey greeted him with an understanding smile
Pomfrey
She is that bed over there Harry. Not to worry she is fine. She passed out earlier mainly from stress. Looks like she was worried about you. She did lose some blood so she will have side effects because of her condition. Headache should be the worst part.
Harry
Thank you madam Pomfrey.
Harry goes over to your bed side and holds your hand. You open your eyes and see his face edged with worry
Elodie
Congratulations Harry
Elodie
Oh don’t give me that face potter I am fine
Elodie
It looks worse than it is
Harry cups your face and gently brushes the bandage on your forehead
Elodie
My leg just a scrap
Elodie
Don’t apologize you were fighting for your life.
Harry
Yes but I could lead the dragon away a different way
Elodie
Don’t be daft Harry. If you did it any other way you would hurt other students. I rather it have been just me than Hermione ,Ron or even the twins.
Elodie
The teachers wing was your best scenario. They are quick and fast to put up a shield. The only reason I got scrapped up is because I froze. That is my fault not yours. You made the right call
Harry
At least let me stay here a little bit. You scared me to you know when I found out where you were
Elodie
Okay but don’t forget we have class tomorrow you should sleep
Harry’s warm hand gentle rubs the back of yours. The soothing gesture helps you fall into a peaceful sleep.
Madam Pomfrey finally let you leave so you decided to head to breakfast.
When you get to the table you see Cho stealing a couple of glances at Harry.
When he sees you he spits out is pumpkin juice.
You giggle and sit next to him. Grabbing a napkin you wipe up the juice.
Elodie
Come now Harry am I really such a shock to see
Harry
I thought you would be in the hospital wing another day
Elodie
Pomfrey wanted me to but I absolutely hate hospitals. I told her if she had to hold me for scraps then she wouldn’t mind me doing a couple of my experiments to pass the time. She went pale and let me go.
Elodie
I went through a phase when I was little were all I wanted to do was see what would happen when you mixed multiple spells. Some were successful. Others not.
Elodie
I think the one she is scared of is when I mixed air and water to make a blast. The hospital wing took days to air out it was drenched
Elodie
I now most wizards prefer fire as an elemental spell but the other three core elements are very useful
Hermione
Look at this I can’t believe it she has done it again
Hermione
Miss Norne a plain but ambitious girl, seems to be developing a taste for famous wizards. Her latest prey sources report is none other than the son of the head of transportation, Cedric Diggory. No word yet on how Harry potter is taking this latest emotional blow
You start to laugh so hard that you shake.
Elodie
Oh my god that’s good.
Hermione
I am sorry but I don’t see what’s funny about it.
Elodie
I tell you later in private can’t have all my secrets getting out. Besides I have been trying to tell Harry here for weeks now but the foul has been all over the place.
A kids brings a package for Ron
The kids stares at Harry. Ron looks back at him
Hermione stares at Ron and he cracks under pressure
Ron
I told him I’d get him Harry’s autograph
Ron
Oh look mom sent me something
Ron holds it up. I brown coat with orange fringe. You start to laugh.
Harry
Well it does match your eyes
Harry reaches into the bowls and pulls out the tie
Ron walks up to his sister
Ron
Ginny these must be for you
Ginny
I am not wearing that it’s ghastly
Hermione starts to laugh so hard it makes you giggle
Hermione
They’re not for Jenny. There for you.
The table breaks out into laughter
Your laughing so hard that you start to wheeze
Hermione
For the upcoming ball of course.
You place your head on your arm at the table and try to calm down.
You start to cough a little bit.
You take a glass a drink some juice it seem to do the trick.
Elodie
Your clueless Ronald
McGonagle
The Yoba has been a tradition of the tri-whiz tournament since it’s inception
McGonagle
On Christmas Eve night, we an our guest, gather in the great hall for a night of well mannered frivolity
The room was split in half girl on one side boys on the other. So you knew what was coming
McGonagle
As representatives of the whole school, I expect each and everyone of you to put your best foot forward and I mean it literally because the ball is the first and foremost a dance
The girls get excited and the boys grumble
Hermione
You think Krum will ask you? Well I don’t know
Hermione
You think Harry might you
Elodie
No he is to caught up in the tournament although it might be nice.
Elodie
If Ron could get his head out of his ass maybe he will ask you.
Hermiones cheeks grow pink and all you can do is smirk to yourself
McGonagle
The house of Godric Gryffindor has commanded the respect of the Wizard world for nearly 10 centuries I will not have you in the course of a single evening, be smirking that name by behaving like a babbling bumbling band of baboons
McGonagle
Now to dance is to let the body breathe inside. Every girl a secret swan slumbers longing to burst forth and take flight.
McGonagle
Inside every boy, a Lordly lion prepared to prance
McGonagle walks up to Ron
McGonagle
Will you join me please
She brings him over to the center of the room
McGonagle
Now place your right hand on my waist
Ron does as told and one of the boys whistle at the movement
The room breaks out until into laughter
McGonagle
And extend your arm
McGonagle
Mr. filch if you please
Hermione
Your never going to let him forget this are you?
McGonagle
Everybody come together now
The girls walk up to the halfway mark
McGonagle
Boys on you feet
Neville is the first to get up
Elodie
Who knew Neville would be the first to have the balls to dance?
At that the rest got up and joined in
Harry
I know I am not of much use right now
Elodie
Don’t worry about it
You take the lead since one of Harry’s arms is in a sling
Elodie
Not much of a dancer are you
Elodie
Something about the intimacy in a dance makes it easier to get there heart
You look at Harry in the eyes
Harry
Is dancing the easiest way to get to your heart
You don’t answer and just continue to dance with Harry
